Realizing that our actions, feelings and behaviour are the result of our own images and beliefs gives us the level that psychology has always needed for changing personality.

The 'self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.
Much of what we now consider 'personality' will be explained away as structural and chemical functions of the brain.
Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.
We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint, which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet, we all know that life experiences do change us.
Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.
I think it's a mistake to try to pin down one particular reason for a person's personality. Don't we all, for many reasons, act differently in different circumstances and with different people?
Personality is less a finished product than a transitive process. While it has some stable features, it is at the same time continually undergoing change.
My methods produce lasting behavioral change without unpleasant consequences, because the change does not come from an effort of will. It comes from examining your deep-rooted beliefs of who you are and how the world functions. As you examine these beliefs and make changes in them, you literally become a different person.
Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
Personality traits form at an early age and are fixed by early adulthood. Many important things about you change over the course of your lifetime, but your personality isn't one of them.
